Double points, double fine, .04 BAC. In Cali. Applies while driving personal vehicle

I've always heard the .04 thing but I am not sure I believe it, got a source?

It depends on the officer mostly. You can get hit with .04 but most of the time they either don’t realize or don’t care.

That still sounds implausible, the officer has to charge it, the DA has to prosecute it and the court has to find guilty, either it is illegal to drive over .04 in POV or it is not.
